Description

This report presents background information and justification for the performance specification standards developed as part of the revision and update of the Alberta Air Monitoring Directive. Air Resource Specialists, Inc. was contracted by Alberta Sustainable Resource and Development to assess available technologies for continuous ambient air quality and meteorological measurements. The information was used to develop and update specification standards sheets containing minimum performance specifications for the associated continuous analyzers.

Description

This Guideline was developed to ensure consistency in the interpretation of the use of ambient air quality objectives within Alberta’s industrial air management system. It outlines the process for: the implementation of new or revised ambient air quality objectives; interpreting and acting on modelled concentrations in relation to ambient air quality objectives; setting additional individual industrial site monitoring; and specifying a procedure for calculating ambient concentrations over different averaging times.
